Highlights
Pet care experience
23 Yrs Experience | Cat Whisperer
With 23 years of Overnight Pet Sitting experience, I specialize in giving cats loving, attentive care in the comfort of their own home. Many of my clients affectionately call me the “Cat Whisperer” because even shy or cautious cats often warm up to me quickly and become comfortable receiving affection and being held. One of the benefits of hiring me is that I work remotely from your home during the day and stay overnight, so your pets receive much more companionship, comfort, and TLC than they would with traditional drop-in visits. While you're away, I'll send you thoughtful updates and plenty of photos so you can relax and enjoy your trip knowing your pets are receiving lots of attention and affection. I especially love caring for adult cats that are past the kitten stage. I also enjoy caring for calm, well-behaved small dogs under 25 lbs. that are past the puppy stage. For everyone's comfort and safety, I'm not the best fit for pets with severe anxiety or pets that become highly distressed during fireworks. I look forward to meeting you and giving your pets the same loving attention I would want for my own.

Ratings and reviews
donna was so great taking care of our dog. she is very conscientious with not only our dog but our home, and has very calming energy which is perfect! will definitely book again!
I frequently hire Donna to take care of my kitties, and I’m so thrilled to have found her. I travel frequently, and it’s such a relief to know that my little guys are in such good hands. Donna takes watching out for them very seriously—she really cares for them, loves them, and makes sure that they’re never lonely. She’s a lovely and caring human being, and the kitties love her!
Donna was fabulous. She sent pictures to us daily of our cats who are part feral. She was excellent about getting them calming treats and music. It really helped. We are so lucky to have found her. We hope she is available every time we are out of town. She took the job seriously and we are so grateful. we highly recommend her to anyone!
Donna did a great job. She was very professional and asked great questions about our animals so that she got a clear picture of how our house operates with the pets. She answered all our responses in a timely manner. When we returned our dogs obviously had a nice time with her and it was like we hadn’t been gone. We have used Donna numerous times with positive results.
Donna did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were out of town. She paid a lot of attention to the cat, making sure he was well cared for and treated just as well as when we are at home. Donna kept us up to date on how he was doing during our trip and when we had to adjust our return time Donna accommodated us, making a difficult situation much easier. We have scheduled many more pet sitting times with Donna - it makes our out of town trips a lot more fun knowing our kitty is well taken care of!
Donna is great! She is very communicative, punctual, helpful, respectful, and obviously loves animals including my pup. It was nice to have not have to worry about my dog's happiness and safety or my home while I was away.

Schedule
I teach online meditation and work from your home during the day keeping your cats company. Most overnight pet sitters do not stay at the home during the day. I pride myself in having the owners feel confident of the care I provide for both their pets and their home, while they're away.
- CatsDonna can host up to 1 pet per night
- Are you pets anxious? I'm available to care and love for calm pets. I teach meditation online and conduct coaching sessions over the phone, re: I seek calm dogs who don't bark all the time.
